R. Kelly ft. The Game
“Playas Only”
TP-3: Reloaded
Jive Records
It looks like R. Kelly is no longer trapped in the closet in this second single and music video from his solo album, “TP-3: Reloaded”. Here, he teams up with a rapper who (quite possibly) stole his name from a 1997 David …

I’m Already There is a song by Lonestar. It reminds me of the many times when my husband was out on the road working in Washington DC with a crew that remodeled BP gas stations. He would call on Wednesday nights to talk to the kids and tell …

The BatMan Forever Soundtrack has some really great music. The CD has some great artists like Bone Thugs N Harmony, U2 and even Method Man. I think the CD has an overall really good sound to it. One thing I really like about the CD is that it’s must better …

I was very exciting last spring to find out that a new Garbage album was going to come out after such a long wait, since their 2005 album, Bleed Like Me. And so I basically downloaded the album as soon as it was released. I will be honest and …

I first heard the song “Entombment of a Machine” from the American Death Metal band “Job for Cowboy” a couple years ago on an online radio station called “L.A. Metal”. I was still newly into the heavy metal and death metal genre, and even though many fans might scoff …

Waterfalls by TLC is a song that is smooth going and sweet. I like the song because it sooths my mind and is not like other rap songs. The song talks about how guys need to stop chasing after things they are not going to get but waterfalls is …

Different Names For The Same Thing is a song by Death Cab For Cutie which appears on their record Plans. The song opens up with a piano-led introduction which then gives way to the vocal performance which seems to have some effect on it which makes it seem slightly …

This song is excellent we can’t deny that. Actually, this song has been recommended as one of the top 10 graduation song of all time. The message of the song allows us to reflect on how we deal with separation. Some may ask why is it suitable for a graduation …

Overview - Death Magnetic, Metallica’s most recent album proves that even though the band was in extreme turmoil during St. Anger they did manage to come out of all of that horrible music and manage to make a record which puts them back on course. Although I will say, …

Alicia Keys is without a doubt one of the most talented and successful female recording artists of this decade. She has done wonderful collaborations with other artists but shines brightly on her own as well. She has come a long way from songs like “Fallin’” on her first album, …

New, New Minglewood Blues is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their self-titled debut record. This track is a cover but it sounds as if The Dead certainly add their own character and style to this track. The song opens up with a lighthearted moving guitar …

Someone Is Waiting is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the third track to appear on their debut release, On Avery Island. Picking up immediately where the previous track, You’ve Passed, left on, the vocal performance of Jeff Magnum abandons the Lou Reed-like sound which I seemed …

I would recommend this song to all and sundry. Its appeal simply transcends all age boundaries, as evidenced by artist Susan Boyle’s unprecedented popularity in YouTube circles and the rest of the Web. For those who are not aware, Boyle was a much-maligned contestant of Britain’s Got …

Justin Timberlake’s “Justified” is a pretty good album, in my opinion. I was a huge fan of N’Sync back in the day so I will be the first person to tell you how much I hated the thought of any of the five members of that boy band becoming …

The first track is the main title, which is the familiar theme loved and so well known to fans. …

There is a stereotype going around that Hip Hop is all guns, loose woman, and the deft pursuit of all things money and BLING. Add on top of that the piss poor imagery that most commercial rappers portray via MTV and through the radio, that of money hungry, woman …

This is the band’s second album, and first major label album released on Roadrunner Records in late January of 2008 and the summer of 2007 in the UK. The album was produced by Bob Marlette. The band is obviously draws much of their inspiration from AC/DC, this isn’t so …

The Wanton Song is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Physical Graffiti. The track opens up with a nice rock and roll rhythm which somewhat reminds me of The Immigrant Song, an earlier song done by Zeppelin. The point I’m making is that the riff …

Artist: Destiny’s Child
Video: Bug a Boo
Album: The Writings On The Wall
Label: Columbia Records
Director: Darren Grant
Wow, um, was Destiny’s Child second album, “The Writings On The Wall”, mostly centered around male-bashing in general? Geez, first “Bills, Bills, Bills” and then this came out. And I thought TLC’s “No Scrubs” had …

I have been a fan of the popular dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel. This is as a result of a combination of mostly two factors. The first is because of his personality which I guess would include the things he has done to earn himself a crimminal record, and a …

Sounds of the Earth: Ocean Waves - Sounds Of The Earth Series is a pretty relaxing audio CD that is quite pleasant to listen to. It accurately and clearly brings the sounds of the ocean to my ears and to my mind. Unlike some other audio CDs of the …

The other day I went to City Plaza in West Palm beach after I got off the tram. I watched them play at 8 pm when they started performing their upbeat songs like Jumpin Jack Flash, and I can’t get no satisfaction. The band was probably one of the …

It is not like me to review asimple son, while essentially I am not a strager to reviewing music in the form of albums and their artists, but this is a first for me and for a very special reason. The song I am writing about, I’ll Wait For …

KISS
A rock and roll classic! One of the best LP’s of the 1970’s.
This was the bands first album and it debuted in 1973 and no one bought it (it ended up going platinum after the band became a worldwide sensation) An underrated masterpiece.
1973 was too early for the world …

This was Ghost Peeps first album - one maybe two people heard. Oh and myself. The production quality is not as good as it could be but that only adds to some of the charm. This 8 song set only last 19 minutes and in that time we hear …

Listen to 12 tracks that are in Asia’s latest album, like bring us back to the era of 80. Drum pattern, the pattern of the melody to bring nuance, was thick with color in the era of 80. Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, Geoff Downes and John Wetton, presents quality …

I still have a special love for rock music, but to be honest, there are very few bands that I can honestly say that I am and have ever been a devout fan of. As a teenager I was generally a fan of the music and the way it …

No One Else is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The Blue Album. Opening up with a fast guitar riff, Rivers Cuomo comes in with the vocal melody nearly immediately and I must say that if this is your first time …

I think The Fixtape by Krayzie Bone is a musical classic. I just heard it today and I think it is great. I had already heard songs like Mary Mary and Sweet Jane on some other mixtapes and those songs were just great. If you have never heard them you …

Looking for a new place to practice with my band I jumped into Google (as usual). A place called the FuzzBox came up and took a look into their website. Not much there on the site but decided to go down and look anyway. It’s actually only five minuets …

I know that the band’s name is somewhat hard to pronounce (I even heard one time my classmate said, “Cheveches” and I was like, what?”) but really, it’s just pronounced as “Churches”, they’re just probably bad in the spelling department!
But thankfully enough, their music is nowhere near as bad …

The Struggle Within, the final track of The Black Album, is a song which unfortunately sends the album off on pretty much just an average note. I’ve praised Hetfield’s vocal work and performance throughout this entire album but unfortunately I can’t really say that about this track. I think …
